INSEAD JANUARY 2011 INTAKE

Both me and sm332 have been accepted into Insead (class of 11J). As soon as you're in, you get access to a website called MBAconnect. You can do all sorts of searches then in a directory with info on the classes of 2010 and 2011.

Guys,

I just submitted my application to INSEAD and have also uploaded my photograph.
The only thing remaining is the online payment.

But I think the server is down as I am repeatedly getting some error on the website.
I have tried it from different browsers but the same error

Anyone else facing the same issue?
Please help!!!

Urgent!!

Hi, Vivek.

I submitted my application over the weekend and I didn't have any trouble with my payment. If you need to contact the INSEAD MBA admins office, I recommend you do so via e-mail at: MBA.CANDIDATES@insead.edu. I checked the web for a phone number but I couldn't find one. YOu still have sometime to get this fixed so that you will be considered a R1 applicant. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi, Suker and SM332. Congrats on having secured your seats at INSEAD. Suker, I read from your earlier post that you intend to start in Fonty. How do you go about securing a room in one of the infamous Chateaus? Also, do you intend to lease a car while you are in Fonty since the Chateaus are typically not located close to campus? If admitted, I plan to spend P1 and P2 in Fonty and then P3, 4, and 5 in Spore. Thus the curiosity about the living situation in Fonty.

Looking forward to your input.

Forgive my ignorance. Do you mean these students have already got admission for Jan 2011 Intake? Doesn't the interviews start after the deadline(10-Mar-10)?

11J means graduating in June 2011, so they were accepted to the Sept 2010 intake.

As for payment issues -- I tried submitting my app today and the payment page was down in the morning. I emailed adcom and they said this would be taken into consideration, but by then I had already managed to pay via the web.

Confirmations -- do you guys know whether I can expect a separate confirmation once they have all my materials, transcripts, etc and are ready to evaluate, or is that something I should chase up myself? I've gotten the automated confirmations, but I'd like to hear from adcom that everything is complete for them.

I've finally managed to turn in all my stuff and it's been a bit of a journey, but I'm glad the app creation part is done and I'm exhausted but confident

question guys.
does INSEAD do a rolling admissions (the US schools) or strict deadline notifications? (like LBS)

it's deadlines like LBS

I am a R1 applicant too. I was facing problems with online payment yesterday. However, I was able to make it today.
The problem is that I haven't received any email or anything that says the payment has been confirmed.

Did anyone of you also face a similar issue? Do they send another email if the payment is accepted?

Should probably get something like this:

Hi,

I was facing problems with the online payment yesterday so I mailed them requesting an alternative way to pay.
In the reply, AdCom confirmed that their IT team is looking into the issue and requested me to make the payment the next day. They also confirmed that I should not worry about R1 deadline because they will keep this payment failure issue in mind while assessing my file.

My payment got through today but I have not yet received any confirmation mail as such. Will drop a mail to AdCom and see what they have to say

Cheers,
Vivek.

Hey Vivek,
I had sent the mail to AdCom two days back but they haven't responded yet.
Would appreciate if you could post an update if you get any answer from them.

Cheers,
SH

I got a mail from Adcom today that my application package is complete.

Hi Semaj ~ When did u complete/submit your app. I'm worried, submitted the online app on Mar 1st and posted the docs on the same day. Still didn't hear anything from the adcom.
Thanks ~ KC

Hi KC,
I sent my transcripts which reached the Adcom on 4th March. I submitted my application on 10-Mar. I sent an email on the same day requesting them to check if they have got the transcripts and confirm if the application is complete. And I got an email today that the app is complete.
Probably you can send an email to MBA.CANDIDATES@insead.edu and check the status. Good luck!

Is it really wise to send them emails requesting to confirm?
I am just wondering because they clearly mention they will email us after receiving everything.
On the other hand, if email can trigger them to check, our application will move to COMPELETE state quicker!

Thanks guys for sharing your inputs. I received a confirmation mail (on application package) from INSEAD today and I think it's advisable to wait for a few days to hear from them.

Cheers,
SH
